I didn't know much of this blokes work before buying..was aware that he was quite respected and truly alternative..I particularly love is take on 'bad' books..of which I consider Harry Potter to be..bloody awful..everyone I have mentioned that point of view to, you would have thought I'd ' buggered the bursar' (to quote Julie Walters,Educating Rita)..very refreshing..a change from the usual political comedy(which I also enjoy)..I'll be using more of his stuff, excellent..

Clever stuff, all round. There is some clever stuff going on here; from the set-up, the mock and self-mocking interview/therapy session with Chris Morris (another authentic comedian) to how Lee manages to give a real funny live stand-up set to a small audience, while at the same time, using them as a device to both mock the fact he's being filmed for tv and as a tool to engage with the tv audience. His use of the audience and asides to the camera makes you feel he's presenting it for you (which, of course, he basically is!) and not eavesdropping on a live show, like other comedy dvds. The sets themselves are very smart and sly. Lee has been doing stand- up for 20 years and it shows. Loved some of his themes. Some of the sketches did get a bit to "in joke" and absurd for me, but made a great change of pace and style and brought yiu back to his stand up, afresh for the next topic. I think series 3 is the best (which in its self is quite unusual, given that the originality can be lost as more series are produced, but Lee actually hones the format to even greater heights as time goes by.........he's that good. No BBC panel games for this guy. Authentic and original. Get all three series!
